Known technical issues & Tips for using The Web Stalker

27/11/97


Dialogue boxes:

Changed characters / can't point the Crawler at a specific URL

We are aware that sometimes URLs get corrupted when typed into the "Open URL" dialogue box and passed to the Crawler. As far as we can tell, this is a problem with the MUI Xtra in Director. We hope that this will be fixed so that later releases of the Web Stalker can include a fully working version of the Xtra. In the meantime, we recommend that you re-type the text into the 'Open URL' dialogue box until either the Xtra correctly passes the text to the Crawler, or you get bored...


ignore.txt

Don't leave an empty 'ignore.txt' file in the same folder as the Web Stalker, as this may stop the Web Stalker from recognising any URLs.


Moving & resizing windows:

If you click the mouse over a window and keep holding the mouse-button down, the Web Stalker will get the message that you want to move or resize that particular window. While the Web Stalker is smart, it's also got alot to do, so bear with it while it prioritizes things and lets you do whatever you wanted to do with the window.


Exchange Map and Stash files

Why not save Maps and Stash files and exchange them with other Web Stalker users?
